HTC seems pretty happy with their Ultrapixel technology, and they should be. The advanced camera feature found on the HTC One has become one of the biggest selling points for the phone.

Although currently only available on the flagship HTC One, ultrapixel technology could appear in mid-range models in the future. It’s not uncommon for phone makers to filter their high-end features down through the ranges, and as head of HTC UK and Ireland, Phil Roberson said in a recent interview:

“If you look at what we did on the One V [the 2012 entry-level One series phone]; that had the same image chip as we had on the One X […] there is definitely the potential to take it into those spaces.”

With HTC only launching one flagship phone this year, how long will we have to wait to see a mid-range handset with an ultrapixel camera?

HTC M7 One news is about as easy to find on the web as angry teenagers are in the comments section of YouTube videos. So what do we have for you this time around? Well according to @evleaks, this is a rendering of the HTC One which will be used as a press release image.

@Evleaks has been a great resource of HTC One (M7) news over the past few weeks, and it appears whoever the tipster is has close ties to the flagship HTC project.

Back to the rendering, we can see that the design looks very similar to the current iPhone and the recently launched Blackberry Z10. The phone also appears to have a rather large from camera sensor and looks to be running Sense 5 which is rumored to appear on the phone.

With less than a week from us actually seeing the real HTC One, do you guy’s think that this rendering is the real deal? Are you excited for the HTC One?

Those of us following the news of the new flagship HTC have referred to the 4.7-inch phone by its internal codename, and we have gotten quite use to the HTC M7 name, so to hear that it will finally be called the “One” is a little bit of a disappointment. From a marketing point of view the name seems odd further still as many less savvy phone buyers will likely mistake the HTC One as an inferior phone to say the HTC One X and One X+, which are in fact older phones.

We will have to wait unit Feb 19th HTC press event to see if the rumours are true. In the meantime what do you guys think of the new name? Do you think that they should have simply went with the HTC M7 codename as the final name or not?

It seems that HTC’s new “One” series isn’t as great as everyone thought it’d be, thanks to a few design flaws that have been spotted on both the One X and S. Apparently the One X has color discoloration issues near the edge of the display and due to the design it is easy enough to accidentally make wrong selections on the screen. According to CNET, they tested four individual headsets and all of them apparently had this same issue.

As for the One S, it seems that the innovative ceramic housing for the One S is actually experiences a coating problem where it just chips easily. HTC has recognized this issue and is already confirming they will do what they can to replace the One S’ and improve the build quality on any ‘problem’ unit.

While we’d love to say that companies would take the time to prevent such problems in the first place, design issues do happen. What matters is that the company is willing to admit the problem (something Apple doesn’t like doing) and takes care of it as quickly as possible. So far, it seems like HTC is doing what is needed to get the issues resolved though.

Have you gotten your hands on either of these headsets? Have any issues? Let us know.
